Harvey, Being there and Jacob's ladder come to mind right now. Probably 3 others later on. There's so many great films.

That people have actually heard of?
'Happiness', Todd Solondz film.
Blues Harp by Takashi Miike is very good, too.
And of course American Beauty.

Sitting here now pondering, I'd have to say A.I. is my favorite movie to date. It might be one of the only movies that have made me teary eyed.
Yes, that's right, tears would roll down my cheeks YOU BIG BULLIES!

just a few off the top of my head i think are outstanding films:
Solaris - Tarkovsky Onibaba - Shindo Baraka - Ron Fricke (the only film i've seen so far that i'd give 10/10)
Chungking Express - Wong Kar Wai Ashes of Time - Wong Kar Wai In the Mood for Love - Wong Kar Wai Unforgiven - Clint Eastwood
AI is underrated I think, nowhere near as bad as people make out

I used to love Lord of the Rings and I still think the first one is pretty decent, the next 2 aren't very good though. If I had to sum up its faults very briefly I would say its 'too loud'.

Well, The Idiots is good. I don't know if anyone has head of Blue's Harp, my favourite Miike film. I am sure people have seen Audition, DOA and/or Ichi The Killer by Miike. It's just that they are obscure films, not cos I am a film buff... 'cos I'm not.
Storytelling and Welcome To The Doll's House, both by Solondz are good shit, too.
Heard of any of these, CC?
If you know of some of obscure ones, please tell me. I love that shit.

I'm surprised to see someone pick up Blues Harp, because that movie is pretty great. It's not my favourite Miike movie, but damn good. IZO and Happiness of the Katakuris are in my top-20 films of all time.
So here's some kind of list, based on instant flash memory and people's suggestions on the board thus far:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Lord of the Rings pt. 1 & 3 Solyaris Happiness Dr. Strangelove Mulholland Drive Braindead (Dead Alive) Shaolin Soccer Sympathy for Lady Vengeance Tetsuo: The Iron Man Strange Circus Election (Hak se wui)
Do we count animations? in that case, I would add Akira, Grave of the Fireflies, Pom Poco Raccoon War and Nausicäa to the list.
No, choosing one or three is impossible.

Apart of the big film in cinema history, one of the most complete films and closer to me and my tastes ive ever seen is Adaptation. I also love the feeling it leaves on me when its finished after the big dense story with the flowers and everything faster and faster and the happy together tune... aaaah-mazing! highest punctuation in the best movie/favourite movie ratio to me

yes, i've seen them all except blue's harp, im a big fan of takeshi miike tho, audition is just... i mean, im not afraid of needles or anything, but this movie just fucks me up. i cant really be a big fan of takeshi miike, its not something i generally like to watch - check out visitor q.
challenging (what? lol?) me on my homefield wouldn't be the best of strategy, thats why im wondering why you mentioned the idiots. its not one of triers best films, and are considered a bit of a joke here in denmark - if you want trier, you should go see epidemic, europe, breaking the waves or the series riget (both 1 & 2).
i enjoyed happiness, haven't really been around his other things too much. todd solondz is very big these days, being a promising independent director with an already impressive catalogue. looking very forward to his new film as well, i heard it is going to star paris hilton.

Oh fuck! I forgot about Bubble Boy! that film is so casually racist, it rocks ass!
I will try to find obscure stuff tomorrow, it's too late to trudge through DVDs at this time.
I am pleased by the Miike and Solondz love going aroun, though! =)
What are people's favourite parts of Happiness? I like the Hoffman sex pest the most. The bit where he shouts at that fat bird after she has been the first one to show him any affection is so fucking excellent on so many levels. Actually pretty much everything between those two is awesome.

the three fucking utter wankest films i've seen on this list so far:
Magnolia Happiness Adaptation
all completely terrible wastes of time, that pretty much all suffer from the same problem. they are over hyped, self-righteous, completely off-the-mark, art crap attempts at exploiting controversy and making an audience feel uncomfortable, and then trying to pull some bullshit morality out at the end hoping you will think its genius. what a bunch of fails. never understood how people bought into this lame trend.

Adaptation is brilliant, Magnolia is pretty good but a bit tedious in spots and Happiness is schlock shit.
